The Garden of British Wild Flowers, an 



Anglesea on the west and Suffolk on the east, but 

 generally a rare plant in this country ; it may, 

 however, be had in nurseries, and is worthy of a 

 place in every garden, and especially in every col- 

 lection of variegated or silvery leaved plants. 



The common Tansy is too coarse for any place 

 but the herb ground, but there is a variety with 

 leaves cut into numerous segments, and crisped up 

 as elegantly as the New Zealand Todea superba, 

 and this should be provided with a nook, its flower- 

 ing stems requiring to be pinched off when they 

 show. The name of this tansy is Tanacetum 

 vulgare crispum. The double variety of Pyrethrum, 

 now so frequent in our flower gardens, is a native 

 plant — or, at least, the single or normal form of the 

 species is. The Sea Wormwood (Artemisia mari- 

 tima), is a neat silvery bush, ffeely distributed on 

 our shores, and worthy a place in our gardens. 

 There is a deep rose-coloured variety of the 

 common Yarrow (Achillea Millefolium rosea) — pity 

 one cannot avoid these hard names — ^which should 

 be in every garden, and there is a very pretty 

 double white variety of the " Sneezewort" (Achillea 

 Ptarmica), which will be found highly ornamental. 

 At Mr. Paul's Cheshunt nurseries I noticed it 

 being cut extensively for wedding bouquets, during
